A proposito di questo titolo
Step into the unyielding world of retired NYC Department of Corrections Deputy Warden Philip Billik (25 years, 1983-2008), who traded Wall Street publishing for Rikers Island's chaos—starting as a 23-year-old recruit bused straight to Bronx House of Detention amid 1970s civil service tests and civil servant dreams. From six-week Rikers training (classroom law to Bronx firearms drills) to commanding 500-inmate units through riots, stabbings, and escapes, Phil reveals the "my house, my way" mindset that kept stress at bay: No domestics, no bars, no drugs—just care, custody, control. As a native New Yorker from Inwood's Irish-Italian-Jewish trades hub, he shares stories of acclimation, holiday skeleton crews, and the wife who "kept him intact" through 38 years of marriage, missed birthdays, and schedule-shifting Thanksgivings.
How did "hell" forge heaven? Phil's skeptical eye sizes up subway crowds but fears nothing—nothing he can't endure after 25 years of the unimaginable. A raw blueprint for corrections pros, aspiring officers, and families navigating the badge's shadows.
